President Donald Trump’s newly passed “One Big Beautiful Bill” includes a major win for homeowners in high-tax states: a sharp increase in the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction cap. The cap will jump from $10,000 to $40,000 for most taxpayers, allowing them to deduct more in property and income taxes from their federal returns.
